Retain.
Deal damage equal to the number of cards played this combat.
Deal damage equal to the number of cards played this combat.
Its damage equals the number of card plays finished this combat before it, counting every player's cards in multiplayer and every token such as Shivs and Souls. Strength adds on top. On turn 1 as your third card it hits for 2; late in a boss fight it can be 40 or more. Upgrading adds Retain so you can hold it until the number is worth 1 Energy.

When to take Gold Axe
Good for long fights and card spam decks, but skip it if you play only three big cards a turn. Upgrade it for Retain, its real value, and hold it for the boss.
